CROSSWORDS
Sir,-While I appreciate the necessity to conserve paper supplies by reducing the size of The Listener, I feel that your deletion of the weekly Crossword is particularly unfortunate. You see, while there are excellent articles well worth reading, nevertheless, they can all be perused in less than an hour, while, on the other hand, the Crossword gives at least an hour’s enjoyment, which means that your cutting out of this feature" reduces the amount of entertainment received from The Listener by 50 per cent. Perhaps you had not thought of it in this way. If -you could see your way to reinstate the Crossword in’ place of some small article that can be read in a minute or so, I am sure that many of your readers would appreciate it, especially in view of the fact that your Crosswords were alwavs of such an interestine nature.

(We have had several other letters asking for the restoration of our Crossword Puzzles. In reply we can’ say no more than this-that we shall try to find room for a Puzzle now and then. If we do better than that we know that we shall make many readers happy. If we do worse we shall expect to receive what we don’t deserve in our mail.-Ed.)
